Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 I felt that since we seem to be in a sharing mood I would try to share something with everyone. The following was sent to me by a very good friend of mine. I know I don't post often but I read everything and feel as though I am really getting to know this group. In short I consider you my friends. I understand what it is like to be abused and to feel as though you are hiding behind a shield of fat for many years too. It seems that after you grow up and you don't want to hide anymore you've done so much damage(wieght gain)that it seems impossible to get rid of. So it is like being punished all over again or something. If the rest of the world could only understand. Most of us on this group are women and I would like to share the following with you to show you the respect, love, and admiration I have for all of you. (Sorry I don't have anything like this for the guys) This is kinda long so if you are not interested delete it. Price wt360 BMI 54 > > Women have strengths that amaze men.
